SAN FRANCISCO — Charles Barkley said his favorite in the NBA Western Conference is Oklahoma City, assuming Kevin Durant remains healthy.

“They”re loaded. They”ve got everything,” Barkley said of the Thunder during a TNT media event Monday. “I”ve been complaining for years until they got a low-post scorer they”re not going to win anything. Now they”ve got one in (Enes) Kanter.”

But he believes any of four teams – OKC, Golden State, San Antonio or the Los Angeles Clippers – can win the West.

He points to the Spurs” signing of LaMarcus Aldridge as evidence that the rest of the NBA is not suddenly trying to emulate the Warriors.

“I don”t think teams are going to start playing small,” he said. “When you”ve got guys that can shoot like Klay and Steph . . . how many teams have two of the best shooters in the world?”

Asked what he likes about the Warriors, Barkley said they are deeper than people realize. Still, he insists Golden State”s run to the title featured good fortune as they avoided San Antonio and the Clippers and faced an ailing Cavaliers team in the finals.

“I”m not going to disparage what they did. They had a nice little setup through the playoffs,” Barkley said. “That”s not a knock. That”s just a fact.”
